   • Pour 2 cups of water into a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a vigorous boil over high heat.
   • Add the green beans and cook until they are crisp-tender, which should take approximately 6 minutes.
   • Drain the beans in a colander and let them cool slightly. This blanching process helps retain the beans’ vibrant green color and crunchy texture.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
   • Add the chopped pickled ginger, minced garlic, salt, and sliced chili peppers to the hot oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes fragrant and the garlic is golden but not burnt. Be cautious not to overcook the garlic as it can turn bitter.

3. Combine and Finish:

   • Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the sautéed aromatics. Toss everything together and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the beans are evenly coated with the flavorful oil and spices.
   • Taste the green beans and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.

4. Serve:

   • Remove the chili peppers before serving if you prefer a milder dish.
   • Serve the gingered green beans warm as a side dish at your next potluck or alongside your favorite main course.
